I keep hearing that the anti-aid to Ukraine Republicans are "Conservatives". They're not Conservatives.
Conservatives believe in smaller government, lower taxes, a strong military and the rule of law. 2 out of 4 doesn't make you a Conservative.
Ronald Reagan was a Conservative. George H.W. Bush, Dick Cheney, George W. Bush, John McCain and Mitt Romney are or were Conservatives.
These Trump MAGA Cultists are closer to the description of traitors than to Conservatives.
I disagree with the Conservatives I've listed here on many issues. But I respected their opinions. They sometimes lied (weapons of mass destruction) that made me work and stand against them. But I never questioned their love for America and its Democracy.
The Trump MAGA Cultists are a danger to American and the world. But they are not Conservatives.
